Installing Windows Server

Hi,

This is probably a dumb question, but can you install the windows 2016 server into an actual server? Or does it always have to be with a PC? If so, what are the step-by-step instructions? Just curious because I’m not sure why I need to install it on a PC?

You can install Windows Server on any server, desktop, laptop or as a VM that meets the requirements listed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/system-requirements

Do NOT install Windows Server over your existing Windows 10 installation. Instead, please install it as a VM or on a separate computer that you don’t care if the existing data gets deleted.

Here is an old YouTube video that shows the steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G6ZTu8qANM
